    Pont-Scorff

    The ruins of the convent of the Hospitallers of St. John of Jerusalem, established on an ancient Roman road, remain at the Lower Scorff Bridge, near the river. The bridge St John existed in medieval times. The chaplaincy and the chapel are attested in 1160.
    In the 12th and 12th centuries, Pont-Scorff was already the seat of a powerful jurisdiction that depended on the Duke of Brittany. Its built heritage remains important. Today it is a village of craftsmen.

    Village of Lesbin: Chapel and Calvary

    The St Aubin chapel in the village of Lesbin was once the seat of the parish of Pont-scorff.
    Built in 1610 following the League wars and modified in 1747, the Lesbin chapel, dedicated to Saint Aubin, was the parish church of Pont-Scorff until 1790. There are polychrome statues, the Way of the Cross and ex-voto hanging from the ceilings. The choir has important liturgical furnishings.
    The ensemble is restored and maintained by the association for the protection of the chapels. It is surrounded by a cemetery, containing a calvary sculpted by René Quillevic and a tombstone dating from 1557.
